***Proverbs 29:18
Why do we need a Vision?
- Because without vision the people perish.
- The Bible says in proverbs 29:18; "Where there is no vision the people perish; but he that keeps the law is happy".
Two things here;
.
#1) Vision is a revelation of God. Without revelation of God we cannot expect to do the work of God.
- Every time that God is getting ready to move His people on He gives a fresh revelation.
- He did it with Abraham;
- When Abraham was very old and he was ready to give up on the promise of God to make him a great nation. Abraham started wondering; "how am I going to accomplish this?
- I am an old man and the only heir that I have is my servant. You have not given me a child to accomplish this!
- The Bible says that God bought Him outside ( Sometimes God has to take you out of what is familiar to you to make you understand)
- And God said; "Look at the heavens and see if you can count the stars. So shall your descendents be".
- (When you get a fresh revelation from God all of the sudden all the impossibilities don't matter ) Everything starts to look clear.
- Why do we need a fresh revelation anyway?
- So that we can see clearly ( Tell your neighbor "The baby is on its way")
- Get a fresh revelation from God!!! ( "what He promised is on its way")
- It may take a little longer than what you thought but it's on its way.
- Get impregnated with a fresh revelation of God!!!
Gen. 15:4 says that; "The word of the Lord came to him and said; "The servant will not be your heir, but the one that will come out of your body will".
· You don't have to settle for second best.
· You don't have to settle with someone else's baby( I mean blessing)
· God has a special baby (I mean a special blessing) for Restoration Ministries and also for you.
Why do you think God blessed him anyway?
· Because Abraham had enough nerve to believe God instead of what he saw. He had a fresh revelation of God!!!
· The Bible says in Gen.15:6; "And he (Abraham) believed God" (he trusted, relied on, remained steadfast)
· "And God counted it to him as righteousness"
· When we dare to believe God for big things. He looks at us as righteous.
#2) Proverbs 29:18 says that only then can are we happy. "Where there is no vision people perish but he who keeps the law is happy".
